An introduction to REDWatch

Background on REDWatch: This provides an overview of how REDWatch emerged in response to the issues facing Redfern - Waterloo and provides some idea of the diversity of the group.
REDwatch charter: REDWatch was initially formed arround concerns about the Premiers Department's activities in the area and the lack of community involvement in the decisions being made about our community. The charter below was agreed as the basis for the groups activities when it was set up in early 2004.
Objects of REDWatch Incorporated: The REDWatch Charter was updated when REDWatch was incorporated. The Objects and Proposed Activites below are taken from the REDWatch Rules of Association and spell out the basis for REDWatch's operation.
